Growth Mindset: Just Do It

I prefer short, but impactful quotes as they are sometimes the hardest to make meaningful. This first quote I looked at was "Live It Fearless Every single day" or L.I.F.E. This is so true. I believe that every day you have to take risks in order to truly do anything exciting in life. Yes, you can have fun without taking risks, but not very exciting. Getting the change of nervousness to adrenaline to excitement is one of the best feeling ever. I know this, but need to start living my lfie by it more.
"Why Not"
I have not really thought about this too much, it kind of ties into the last quote, but with risky things that are avoided due to nervousness, I have to think "why not". There won't be any consequences. Nothing bad will come of it, hopefully. Just do it.

Over break I went on a road trip to Yosemite National Park, which was literally the most gorgeous place I've ever seen in my life filled with some incredible and interesting people. It was a good mental break from the stress of life. Here's a picture of me ta...

Feedback Strategies: Process Praise and Mirror Feedback

Be a Mirror This article is useful as it lists out examples as to how each of the 5 useful qualities within feedback is presented. I always find that being specific when talking to people can show you are genuinely interested in their life, but I never thought this could be utilized when giving feedback. Another important quality is to not tell them they are missing something as that does not allow growth because they did not put any effort into something they did not even think of. The most interesting point in this article was to take oneself out of the feedback. Everyone enjoys talking about themselves, but in the case where you are giving feedback it's best to not say why I think something because it takes away from their growth. Difference Between Praise and Feedback Praise and Personhood Here the article says not to use positive reinforcement as this could make your child feel unworthy if they do not do what was being reinforced. In my opinion this is dumb. The very poin...
